Think before you buy

It is amazing how many people think they know what they want and then get side-tracked by brand names, colours and price tags. Consider your needs. Are you going to tour or are you going to spend all your holiday on one campsite? How many of you are going? Do you need to have a tent that will provide enough space for your growing family - and their friends? Answer such questions as realistically as possible and they will give you a good idea as to the type and size of tent that you need.
   
Many camping shops provide the opportunity to hire camping equipment. Before you commit your money, make sure that you are going to enjoy this pasttime by using someone else's kit. It will also give you the practical experience needed to ask the right questions when buying a tent.
